Wagner Festbier

Tap to rate

Brewed for Easter, Whitsun, the village fair and Christmas at 13.5 °P, with a golden to golden-brown colour. The malt is broad and bready, with a light malt sweetness in the first sip. A fine hop aroma rounds it off, turning distinctly grassy towards the end, and a moderate bitterness balances the fuller body so the beer stays easy to drink despite its strength.

◐ Taste

Malt-driven palate with pronounced breadiness and gentle sweetness on entry, creating a full body that belies the moderate strength. A fine noble hop bitterness arrives mid-palate, turning distinctly grassy as it develops, and balances the malt's weight without harshness, leaving the beer remarkably easy to drink.

Clean, moderately long finish with grassy hop notes lingering softly. The aftertaste remains dry and refreshing, with a touch of residual malt sweetness that fades gracefully.
